Yes, you can build your own, and save yourself quite a lot of money for that sleek Eleanor look The Ford Mustang has enjoyed major acclaim on the silver screen in its five decades, capturing the hearts of audiences in Bullitt, Charlie’s Angels, Goldfinger, and newer films like War of the Worlds, Need for Speed, and I Am Legend. But in 2000 the world got another taste of ‘Stang it wouldn’t soon forget.  That car was the 1967 Shelby GT500 Eleanor Mustang, hailing from the blockbuster Gone in 60 Seconds remake. It was the last car that Nicholas Cage would snatch in the film, and arguably the prettiest. Understandably, it’s a car Mustang and movie fans alike would love to own…though considering only 11 original versions were built (and three featured on screen with the cast) it’s not an easy car to get a hold of. Luckily, you can build your own, and save yourself quite a lot of money for that sleek Eleanor look.  If you … [Read more...] about Tips for Building an Eleanor Mustang from ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’

A WCF reader has sent us a batch of photos with several vehicles part of the Dubai police fleet. A WCF reader has sent us a batch of photos with several vehicles part of the Dubai police fleet. It's by far the most interesting police fleet we have ever seen as all of them (with one exception) are very expensive. We already knew a Lamborghini Aventador is patrolling Dubai streets, together with a Ferrari FF (thanks to WCF user RashidMM for the upload). It doesn't end here as there are other cars, such as a Chevrolet Camaro, Bentley Continental, Mercedes-Benz SLS and most importantly, a rare Aston Martin One-77. The latter was produced in only 77 units and each cost 1.15M GBP, which basically means we are dealing with the most expensive police car in the world. Special thanks go to Hammad M.J. for sending the pics!

Police authorities in Dubai agreed to show off their hugely impressive fleet which is used primarily as a marketing stunt. Police authorities in Dubai agreed to show off their hugely impressive fleet which is used primarily as a marketing stunt. Over the last few months we have seen many important and expensive additions to Dubai's police fleet and now the authorities allowed the media to take a more in-depth look at the amazing garage which includes the mighty Bugatti Veyron. Other prized possessions worth mentioning are the McLaren MP4-12C, Aston Martin One-77, Lamborghini Aventador, Audi R8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SLS, Bentley Continental, Nissan GT-R along with the more humble Ford Mustang by Roush. That's not all as the list continues with a BMW M6 Gran Coupe, a Brabus B63S - 700 Widestar, Chevrolet Camaro, Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG and a more docile Renault Twizy. As you would imagine, the cars are not used to catch the bad guys as the police uses them … [Read more...] about Dubai police shows off impressive fleet including Bugatti Veyron [video]

The newly developed engine features a clean-sheet design. [UPDATE, March 29] Live images from the New York Auto Show have been added at the beginning of the gallery, below. Cadillac will give the CT6 a major power upgrade because the new V-Sport model will be the first vehicle to get a direct-injected 4.2-liter biturbo V8 that will pump out 550 horsepower (410 kilowatts) and 627 pound-feet (850 Newton-meters) of torque in the top output. There will also be a 500-hp (373 kW) version.Caddy reports the mill has a completely clean-sheet design. The engineering put an emphasis on keeping the packaging compact but still producing plenty of performance. The mill features a so-called "hot V" where the exhaust exits from the valley between the heads, rather than on the outside like on most V8s. The company also integrates the two twin-scroll turbos into the exhaust manifolds at the top of the engine. Cadillac reports that this setup creates a tighter … [Read more...] about 2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport Gets New 550-HP Biturbo V8

The devil's in the details. The Honda Civic Type R is one of the very few hardcore hot hatches with only two driving wheels on the market today. Many competitors like the Ford Focus RS and Volkswagen Golf R are relying on all-wheel-drive systems, but that doesn’t necessarily make them better performance vehicles. After all, a good sports car has a good engine. And the Type R is not just among the leaders when it comes to the motor, but it’s probably setting the standards in this segment. A new entertaining video from Engineering Explained shines more light on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine of the Civic Type R and why it is awesome. With 306 horsepower (228 kilowatts) and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque, it’s quite powerful but also fuel efficient with a combined consumption of 25 miles per gallon.
